+.SH FORMAT SELECTION
+.PP
+By default youtube\-dl tries to download the best quality, but sometimes
+you may want to download other format.
+The simplest case is requesting a specific format, for example
+\f[C]\-f\ 22\f[].
+You can get the list of available formats using
+\f[C]\-\-list\-formats\f[], you can also use a file extension (currently
+it supports aac, m4a, mp3, mp4, ogg, wav, webm) or the special names
+\f[C]best\f[], \f[C]bestvideo\f[], \f[C]bestaudio\f[] and
+\f[C]worst\f[].
+.PP
+If you want to download multiple videos and they don\[aq]t have the same
+formats available, you can specify the order of preference using
+slashes, as in \f[C]\-f\ 22/17/18\f[].
+You can also filter the video results by putting a condition in
+brackets, as in \f[C]\-f\ "best[height=720]"\f[] (or
+\f[C]\-f\ "[filesize>10M]"\f[]).
+This works for filesize, height, width, tbr, abr, vbr, asr, and fps and
+the comparisons <, <=, >, >=, =, != and for ext, acodec, vcodec,
+container, and protocol and the comparisons =, != .
+Formats for which the value is not known are excluded unless you put a
+question mark (?) after the operator.
+You can combine format filters, so
+\f[C]\-f\ "[height\ <=?\ 720][tbr>500]"\f[] selects up to 720p videos
+(or videos where the height is not known) with a bitrate of at least 500
+KBit/s.
+Use commas to download multiple formats, such as
+\f[C]\-f\ 136/137/mp4/bestvideo,140/m4a/bestaudio\f[].
+You can merge the video and audio of two formats into a single file
+using \f[C]\-f\ <video\-format>+<audio\-format>\f[] (requires ffmpeg or
+avconv), for example \f[C]\-f\ bestvideo+bestaudio\f[].
+.PP
+Since the end of April 2015 and version 2015.04.26 youtube\-dl uses
+\f[C]\-f\ bestvideo+bestaudio/best\f[] as default format selection (see
+#5447, #5456).
+If ffmpeg or avconv are installed this results in downloading
+\f[C]bestvideo\f[] and \f[C]bestaudio\f[] separately and muxing them
+together into a single file giving the best overall quality available.
+Otherwise it falls back to \f[C]best\f[] and results in downloading best
+available quality served as a single file.
+\f[C]best\f[] is also needed for videos that don\[aq]t come from YouTube
+because they don\[aq]t provide the audio and video in two different
+files.
+If you want to only download some dash formats (for example if you are
+not interested in getting videos with a resolution higher than 1080p),
+you can add \f[C]\-f\ bestvideo[height<=?1080]+bestaudio/best\f[] to
+your configuration file.
+Note that if you use youtube\-dl to stream to \f[C]stdout\f[] (and most
+likely to pipe it to your media player then), i.e.
+you explicitly specify output template as \f[C]\-o\ \-\f[], youtube\-dl
+still uses \f[C]\-f\ best\f[] format selection in order to start content
+delivery immediately to your player and not to wait until
+\f[C]bestvideo\f[] and \f[C]bestaudio\f[] are downloaded and muxed.
+.PP
+If you want to preserve the old format selection behavior (prior to
+youtube\-dl 2015.04.26), i.e.
+you want to download best available quality media served as a single
+file, you should explicitly specify your choice with \f[C]\-f\ best\f[].
+You may want to add it to the configuration file (#configuration) in
+order not to type it every time you run youtube\-dl.

+.SS Can you add support for this anime video site, or site which shows
+current movies for free?
+.PP
+As a matter of policy (as well as legality), youtube\-dl does not
+include support for services that specialize in infringing copyright.
+As a rule of thumb, if you cannot easily find a video that the service
+is quite obviously allowed to distribute (i.e.
+that has been uploaded by the creator, the creator\[aq]s distributor, or
+is published under a free license), the service is probably unfit for
+inclusion to youtube\-dl.
+.PP
+A note on the service that they don\[aq]t host the infringing content,
+but just link to those who do, is evidence that the service should
+\f[B]not\f[] be included into youtube\-dl.
+The same goes for any DMCA note when the whole front page of the service
+is filled with videos they are not allowed to distribute.
+A "fair use" note is equally unconvincing if the service shows
+copyright\-protected videos in full without authorization.
+.PP
+Support requests for services that \f[B]do\f[] purchase the rights to
+distribute their content are perfectly fine though.
+If in doubt, you can simply include a source that mentions the
+legitimate purchase of content.
+.SS How can I speed up work on my issue?
+.PP
+(Also known as: Help, my important issue not being solved!) The
+youtube\-dl core developer team is quite small.
+While we do our best to solve as many issues as possible, sometimes that
+can take quite a while.
+To speed up your issue, here\[aq]s what you can do:
+.PP
+First of all, please do report the issue at our issue
+tracker (https://yt-dl.org/bugs).
+That allows us to coordinate all efforts by users and developers, and
+serves as a unified point.
+Unfortunately, the youtube\-dl project has grown too large to use
+personal email as an effective communication channel.
+.PP
+Please read the bug reporting instructions (#bugs) below.
+A lot of bugs lack all the necessary information.
+If you can, offer proxy, VPN, or shell access to the youtube\-dl
+developers.
+If you are able to, test the issue from multiple computers in multiple
+countries to exclude local censorship or misconfiguration issues.
+.PP
+If nobody is interested in solving your issue, you are welcome to take
+matters into your own hands and submit a pull request (or coerce/pay
+somebody else to do so).
+.PP
+Feel free to bump the issue from time to time by writing a small comment
+("Issue is still present in youtube\-dl version ...from France, but
+fixed from Belgium"), but please not more than once a month.
+Please do not declare your issue as \f[C]important\f[] or
+\f[C]urgent\f[].
